At a ceremony held in the Pobeda Industrial Park in Petrovaradin, a newly renovated hall was officially handed over to the Red Cross of Novi Sad. The facility was restored and donated by the company Marera Properties, which granted the organization a ten-year lease as part of a donation valued at one million euros.
The event was attended by the Mayor of Novi Sad, Milan Đurić, representatives of the Red Cross of Serbia and Novi Sad, executives from Marera Properties, and other high-ranking officials.
Reaffirming its strong and long-term commitment to socially responsible business practices—and specifically its strategic partnership with the Red Cross—Marera Properties fully renovated a warehouse space of over 1,600 square meters. This facility will now be used for storing supplies intended for the most vulnerable groups.
“Since our founding, we have made it a key priority to improve the local communities in which we operate—not only through donations, but also through a range of socially responsible initiatives that together form a sustainable framework for enhancing society as a whole,” said Takis Taoushanis, Chairman of the Board at Marera Properties.
Since acquiring the park in August 2020, Marera Properties has invested over two million euros in renovating existing facilities and improving infrastructure such as roads, the electrical grid, and the water supply within and around the Park.
“By investing in the Pobeda Industrial Park and modernizing its existing facilities, Marera Properties has not only improved working conditions for tenants and enhanced the Park’s overall image, but also created conditions for increased productivity and greater opportunities for new job creation,” said Milan Đurić, Mayor of Novi Sad.
Dragan Lazić, Secretary of the Red Cross of Novi Sad, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the organization to Marera Properties for their generous donation and strategic collaboration, which has enabled the Red Cross to carry out numerous initiatives aimed at improving the living conditions of the most socially vulnerable groups.
